Over the years, Nintendo has exposed some truly strange ads for his consoles and games, including wonderful SNES COLORS WITand Bizarre advertisement Used for Super Mario Sunshine.
Many of them fade compared to Nes -om's legend of Zelda Adguny, starring comedian and distinguished voice actor John Kassir (Krypta stories,, Bayonetta), which takes place within the subjected prison cell in which Kassir randomly shouts the name “Zelda” together with more hostile names.
Now, in recent History of Videoigara Podcast (through Extension of time), Ex -ningndo of America, an employee and “Marketing Mastermind” Gail Tilden shares the details that threw some light in her mind after gaining the wind exactly what the commercial would mean.
According to Tilden, the then advertising department gave the green light to record advertisements after he heard that John Kassir would be included. When she arrived at the shooting, she was not particularly interested in what she saw …
“We made a TV commercial that is somehow crazy. So, if you get the opportunity to look at her, it's the first Zelda commercial, which is a crazy comedian in a padded cell.
“He screams. He says,” Ahh, Peahats! “And so, since I was still working in the advertising department, I think at the time, maybe we were with three or four again. And when the agency set up that there would be a stand-up comedian who does all the fun things in this game that we all said yes.
“So then I go to this shot in los angles, and it's this crazy guy in a padded cell, and i'm like, this, and can't go through this, because this is not that we amged to. This is not what were expecting. standing at a mic in a spotlight. And so we have been the Agency, We Called Back and to the Executives, and they said to go ahead, maybe becaus we are were there already, but very quickly after that, we dido another commercial commercial It's called, it's calledZelda RapAnd I really don't think that none of them are very attractive. “
Tilden also briefly touches the Noah's approach to the design of a packet for the legend of Zelda, noting that it is “expensive endeavor”. Of course, the gold cartridge and design of the box would be deeply echoed with fans and would serve as the basis for branding the series for many more years.
